A Lifestyle Brand's Race in Manila's Financial Core
Sunnies Run is organised by RUNRIO Inc. at Ayala Triangle, Makati, offering four distances: 21.1K, 10K, 5K and 1K. [1] Sunnies is a well-known Philippine eyewear and lifestyle brand, giving this race a distinctly fashion-forward sponsorship angle compared to the sportswear, beverage and fintech brands seen elsewhere in this research batch.
Ayala Triangle: From Airport to Business District
The Ayala Triangle is a sub-district of the Makati Central Business District, bounded by Ayala Avenue, Makati Avenue and Paseo de Roxas, home to Ayala Corporation and many multinational companies, banks and other major businesses. [2] Its centrepiece, the 2-hectare Ayala Triangle Gardens, opened to the public in November 2009 -- but the land itself has a striking history: it was once the 42-hectare Nielson Field, Manila's pre-World War II airport, decommissioned in 1948 and later redeveloped into today's commercial district.
Four Distances for a Broad Field
The race spans 21.1K, 10K, 5K and 1K, giving it genuine accessibility from serious half-marathon runners down to a family-friendly 1K category -- a similar wide-spread approach to other RunRio-organised races covered in this research batch, like the EastWest Dream Run and Decathlon Run. [1]
Registration Not Yet Announced
As of this writing, registration status for Sunnies Run has not been announced. [1] Given the brand's consumer profile and the venue's central Makati location, demand could move quickly once sign-ups open -- worth watching official channels closely.
Should You Run It?
If a lifestyle-brand race through one of Metro Manila's most prestigious business districts appeals -- especially one with genuinely unusual pre-WWII airport history beneath its modern gardens -- Sunnies Run on 4 October 2026 is worth tracking.
